How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[Deleted member 12723]

I slept ok but had another nightmare. I am getting pretty tired of those damn things. What a way to ruin a good nights sleep.

I think I dreamed last night, but can't be sure, I've slept 11 hours, waking at 7am to see H off, feeling really good but still my body is craving more sleep.

Can't get enough of a good thing I guess!!:D

I suppose the new mattress has helped also, its latex so the H tossing around doesn't move me at all, and vice versa.....the cats approve to, they are taking shifts sleeping on the bed! :p Silly furry muppets!

I slept 6 hours- and then it was interrupted. During that time I had a stupid recurring nightmare. I still can't figure out why it happens.

I'm in a maze with my mother, and theres a billion other people walking through the maze, it's all crowded and I'm holding my mother's hand so we don't get separated. I don't know where my father and little brother are- which is weird because the other people there (there's a LOT of people like squishing each other type of crowd, and there are all types of families; those with young children, those with babies, couples, they have male family members too... but for some reason it's just Mom and I in our family.) I know that it's sort of like a Holocaust Scenario thing, that we're going to reach the end of the maze, and we're going to get sent either to the right to die or the left to live. The dream always stops though after we're in the middle of the maze and we turn a corner to go to another road of it. (I know all this stuff because sometimes it goes to birds eye view, then goes back to normal.)

It scares me... and it scared me yesterday, so at 5 AM I ended up back in my parents bed, and slept there for another two hours. Not a good sleep- even though it was a total of 8 hours.

I slept but I do remember nightmares including a horrid one about my daughter. I do know I was very restless, my hair was out at angles where I'd been thrashing around.

I looked like I'd been electrocuted, me frickin hair scared the cats when I woke up, I bet they wondered what the hell had happened to their human, what they'd to contribute:p , and swearing to the Ceiling Cat that they'd never do it again!:laugh:

I slept today. I dreamt so I know it was deep. It wasn't a bad dream, so it was okay.

Well it's nearly 4AM here and I've been awake for about an hour. I had this dream that I met Betty White and we were talking about the movies she's been in and how funny they are. Oddly, I woke up and I think my cat was having a nightmare. He was sleeping in my bed by my head wimpering and his little paws were just going like crazy. Anyway, I haven't been able to go back to sleep. I am just wide awake.

I was really hoping to get caught up on my sleep this weekend, but so far it doesn't look like it's going to happen. :(:unsure::sleep:

I didn't go to sleep until almost 6am and woke at 11:30. Not enough sleep. I will have to take a nap later. At least I have 9 days off with my boys.:)

I was able to interpret my nightmare with a dream thing on the Internet-that's made it less scary.

Last night my parents were out for their anniversary-22 years! So I was the dogs babysitter. She usually goes to bed in my parents bed on my mothers head, so I took the place of my mother and dragged her to bed at 10 when there ws nothing good on TV. I woke up there at 9. I slept 11 hours with no nightmares! Go me!

I slept all night and now I feel great!

Sleep's wonderful, isn't it? This is the part where I put on my geek glasses (…who am I kidding, ALL of my glasses are geek glasses). Valerian's a well-researched, but underrated herb for getting to sleep and staying there, as well as getting a good quality of sleep. I've been taking it for a while now, but there's a bit of an adjustment factor—as anyone who's taken valerian can tell you, the stuff…kinda smells funny. You adjust to it, though, and I've begun to enjoy the smell. A little anyway. :x3:

I DO recommend it…but you're definitely going to have to get used to the smell. You have been warned.

I slept well. Woke up twice for the bathroom, but the nightmares...

I had my first nightmare about the trauma for many many years last night, but this time it was different. I had a weapon. This girl was there, and she gave me a weapon. I managed to defend myself and never got hurt. How weird is that?

I am back to sleeping off and on but still waking hot and anxious, nightmares, etc. Last night I woke up all night long but was able to go back to sleep and the only way I knew it was because I woke up with a start and slight panic. Since going off the hormones I can tell I am not sleeping as well but still on and off with migraines, just less severe. All in all much better but I prefer sleeping hours at a time, much better for me mentally...catch 22.
